"Hanshui Port has not been completely 'freezing' yet."

Jita's face was flushed with cold.

She sipped a sip of fog, but the fog lingered on her glasses. The scholar hurriedly waved his hand, and his voice was also messy. "... The 'frozen' here means that the active wind elements will be quiet in winter. The northerly the temperature will be lower, and the more obvious this phenomenon is. At first, people thought that this was related to the north wind from the glaciers, so people who were seeking life at sea agreed that they would no longer go to sea after winter.

However, later, scholars discovered that this phenomenon is actually related to the tides on the sea of ​​Ethereum, and can be overcome by certain means. Therefore, there are ships in the sea of ​​clouds even after winter. However, traveling across the ocean is still limited due to the influence of the seasonal wind direction. Generally speaking, after late winter, the route from Is to the empire will stop until the spring and summer of the following year."

Tianlan was stunned for a moment. It turned out that there were so many things to do when sailing on the sky sea. It turned out that she thought that as long as there was a boat, she would be fine. "That's what happened, it's late winter soon. Wouldn't there be too much time left for us?" She suddenly remembered this incident, "Brother Ed is so strange, why did he bring us here?"

"Believe in the captain." Baggins replied. A fire broke out in the boiler room below and was heating the pipes. The sailor bent over and opened the wooden grid window to let the steam rise from below. "Now there is still one month before late December, and we still have time to leave Ishurien."

After leaving Ishurien, you will turn south. After passing Hanrui, there will be ocean currents on the fog sea - the south wind will prevail. At that time, you don’t have to worry about the north wind in the Ishurien sea.

"I understand."

Sky Lan seemed to understand, patted her face with her thick gloves, and couldn't help but complain: "But the northern border is so cold. I didn't expect the coast of Baoshou to be colder. When will we have to wait?"

Indeed, the ancient tower is not further north than the northern border, but people like to call the Baoshou Coast the northern border of Ishurien, not only because it is above the large glacier, but also because of the north wind and cold that continues all year round. In the past, except for the ancient tower people, few ships would come to this area.

This is the boundary of civilization.

Fang Zhu was also waiting patiently.

He was looking through the window of the captain's room, looking at the direction of Hanshui Port, and gently pulled his collar.

Compared with the anxiety of others just waiting, Fang Rong actually had more different emotions in his heart. Since he learned about his parents' past from Su Changfeng, he had more questions and speculations about the hand that pushed him to this world.

Shana.

R.

Could it be them, his...teacher?

In the harbor, there are only a few ships, sparse masts and sails at this moment.

The weather is rarely sunny.

The endless cold wind turns ice and snow into glaciers that shine in the sunshine with ice-blue light. The port grows from the glaciers, and the buildings are distributed in steps, extending several trestles into the fjords. The solid granite is hung with sharp ice edges, covered with scratches.

That was the trace left after the last storm.

The claw marks left by the locals called the "Winter Trombone"-

It's not just the naturalist Miss knowing the land.

Fang Zhu is also familiar with the years of the frozen soil under this glacier.

Between the narrow and winding bays of the entire Treasure Staff Coast, there are sparks of civilization left behind by humans after fighting against the cold. Fortresses, camps and outposts, and stars, like embers in the long night, scattered on this harsh earth.

In this winter world, death and silence follow like shadows. After every blizzard, destroyed villages and abandoned settlements abound. There are still several cities in history that were buried under the ice and frost after a long winter.

However, death also confirms rebirth.

About a thousand years ago, it was such a splash of fire that formed many city-states on the harsh permafrost.

Among them, twenty-one city-states survived until the era of "the king's death".

Until the ancient king hunter began hunting in the forest, his trombone immortalized all year round.

After that, the ancient kingdom collapsed, and then seven city-states disappeared, just like the seven moons that disappeared in the prophecy of the mountain people.

The raven trombone brought about an eternal dark era. The kingdoms fought against each other in the turbulent era, and the war continued. The three kingdoms were destroyed. Countless dead people were sleeping in the cold forest. Crows pecked at the corpse. The people of the winter country shed blood in the midst of disasters.

These people are the history of the ancestors of the Guta people and mountain people.

But the stories of the past have passed by now.

Now the kingdom has fallen apart, and today's Guta people are just vassals of the Kingdom of Kaorin-Ishurien. Faced with the descendants of these rebellious pirates, the kingdom's consuls ruled the area with harsh means, but oppression brought resistance.

The Guta people's unyielding struggle never stopped.

This is also the reason why this land is today.

However, Hanshui Port has not yet penetrated into the fjords. This is the last area covered by the kingdom order. If you sail south, the ancient tower forests will be less friendly.

Fang Yu suddenly had a flash of eyes. He saw a small boat sailing from the port with a small red flag hanging on it. It was a signal that he had agreed in advance - he got up from his position, and was a little excited. The person sent by Shana arrived.

...

"I've checked all the goods," Blood Night Yaoyue withdrew her gaze from the rows of wooden crates and nodded with satisfaction. "The quality is up to standard, he said he can trust you, and I had a trace of doubt."

She said something directly, but she didn't keep it.

Xue Ye Yaoyue picked up the suitcase at hand and put it on the table in front of everyone, "This is the agreed remuneration, the deposit has been paid before, this is the remaining part. The 500,000 Riser cash in the box is one-third of the agreed one-third, and the remaining two-thirds are deposited into Starmen Bank as you request."

She took out another crystal and pushed it to Fang Yu: "This is an information voucher."

It was her.

Fang Zhu did not reach out to pick him up at the first time, but was surprised to see the woman. The other party seemed to have forgotten that he had met everyone at the Traveler's Rest, but he remembered clearly that the other party had fought with the Immortal Worm and Red Leaf at that time.

She actually knows Shana and those people?

Fang Yu had to doubt the reason why the other party appeared there at that time. It was really that coincidental?

Whether it is ‘R’, Shana, or this woman, are all these too coincidental?

While taking the crystal, he scanned the information inside. Since this is a standard crystal made by the Craftsman Association, it has the special anti-counterfeiting logo of Xingmen Port and it is almost impossible to counterfeit, so he is not really worried that the other party will play tricks on such things.

But he looked up and was about to ask something.

But the other party spoke first.

"There is also this thing..." Xue Ye Yaoyue took out something from her pocket and paused for a moment, "...This is, he entrusted me to hand it over to you."

It was a metal plate.

It is about half an inch thick, two fingers wide, and has a colorful luster on the surface.

The surface is not flat, but is covered with strange patterns, composed of parallel and non-interlaced lines, and folded together at a certain position, giving people the feeling of some kind of magic loop.

What is this? The key?

Fang Zhu saw that there were several uneven notches on one side of the metal plate, which looked a bit like a door key.

But compared to this, he cared more about another thing, and asked subconsciously: "Is it the teacher?"

"Yes," replied Blood Night Yaoyue, "...Well, he said you are his student."

Fang Yu fell silent.

Shana and ‘R’ knew each other, which he had known from the black-haired young man.

However, further confirmation, especially after Su Changfeng provided him with the information, he still couldn't help but make him a little dazed. Is it really them? What is Shana and ‘R’ related to their parents? The enemy or their former teammates?

"Teacher..." Fang Ling resisted asking questions directly, but turned to the thing in front of her, "Is this?"

Blood Night Demon Moon was also looking at the young man with some curiosity.

As the "master's wife", she really didn't know much about the other party, the student she "picked" and "R" praised her very much, but this was the first time she had "seen" the other party.

She didn't see anything.

I just think the other person looks familiar.

"Don't ask me," Xue Ye Yaoyue looked at Fang Yu, shook her head, and 'R' asked her to hand over this thing, but she didn't tell her what it was. "He didn't tell me this, maybe you can go and ask him directly."

"You know the teacher and..." Fang Yu asked tentatively, "Shana?"

“Shana?”

Blood Ye Yaoyue was also stunned, thinking to herself what kind of weird ID this is, it sounds like a woman, and that guy has a woman outside?

She frowned and was a little absent-minded for a moment, "If you want to ask me about this, you asked the wrong person. I have known him for less than two years."

She didn't completely lie, but just concealed the relationship between the two.

Fang Yu looked carefully but couldn't see any clues. He was wrong for a moment and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He thought for a while and asked again: "...You want so many basic models of magic furnaces. Are you planning to establish a guild on the coast of the Treasure Staff?"

"ah?"

Blood Night Demon Moon came to his senses only then.

Her mind didn't turn around for a moment and replied casually: "...Bad, it's almost the same. The Baoshou Coast area is the edge of the kingdom, and the guild pressure here is not that great..."

"But I heard that it's going to be in chaos here," Fang Rong couldn't help but feel worried about his teacher, "It should be difficult for the new guild to survive, right?"

"Ah, that's it," Xue Ye Yaoyue was a little panicked for a moment, thinking to herself why you care about this, "It shouldn't be a big problem, but I'm not responsible for this direction and I'm not very clear. But since they have chosen to build what... the guild has probably not considered this issue, right?"

This unrelated answer made Fang Yu look at the other party suspiciously.

However, he also understood that the other party was unlikely to tell him the truth.

...

In Hanshui Port.

The black-haired young man is pulling his mind from his own thoughts.

He pulled the shawl to cover the silver Weislan emblem on his left neck. Although he was just a "temporary worker", he should not be too arrogant when doing private work. He had a good impression of that "Ms. Lin" and did not want to have a displeasure with the other party.

After waiting for another ten minutes, he saw the Blood Night Demon Moon walking back from the warehouse.
